Application led February 28, 1911. Serial No. 611,390.

Tovall whom it may concern?" Be it known .that I, KARL To'rH, a.citizen` of'the United States, residing at Detroit, in

thegcouiity -of Wayne and State of Michigan,

same.

taken through the base of the device andy have invented new and usefulImprovements y in Mirrors, of which the following is a specification. y

Thisinvention relates to improvements in mirrors and the primary objectof the'invention is the provision with the'mirror of means whereby thesaid mirror may be brought to any angle or rotated in any direction, thesaid mirror being also provided with suction means whereby the same maybe securely retained upon the side wall, ceiling or the like.

With the above, and other objects in view which will appear as thenature'of the invention progresses, the invention resides in the novelconstruction and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described andclaimed.

In the accompanying drawings there has been illustrated a simple andpreferred embodiment of the improvement, it being understood, however,that the showing therein is merely illustrative and other changes as tosize, shape, proportion, etc., within the scope of the appended claim,may be made if desired.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure l is a perspective view of themirror constructed in accordance with the present invention and showingthe same secured to a' wall or other vertical support. Fig. 2 is a.central longitudinally' sectional view of the Fig. 8 is a detailedsectional view showing the suction cup in its normal position.

In the accompanying drawings the niimeral 1 designates the mirror. Thismirror 1 may be of any desired size or shape, in the drawings the samebeing illustrated as oval. The edge of the mirror is preferably providedwith a reinforcing band 2, the same conforming to the shape of themirror and being` provided at diametrically opposite points withoutwardly projecting studs or pintles 3. Adapted for pivotal connectionwith the said studs 3 is a yoke 4. This yoke has its arms adjacent theirends bifurcated or constructed of a pair of members, the said membersbeing yielding and being provided with registering openings which areadapted for the reception of a binding element, such as a screw 5, andwhereby the mirror may ybe sustained at any desired angle in relation toyoke 4. The central portion of the yoke is formed with a dependingstud6, the latter adapted to be received within the bore of the `crosssectional ovaly shaped member 7.

The member 7 is provided -with means' whereby the stud 6 maybe`effectively susi tained' therein, the said means preferablycomprising a thumb screw, and the oval or curved -sides of the member 7are adapted to be received within the up er cross sectional curvedextensions 8 providbd upon the main body of the support 9. The member 7is formed with a transversely arranged opening and the members 8are'provided with a compressing element 10, such as a screw or the like,and whereby thesaid members may be brought continuing into-engagementwit-h the member 7 to sustain the same between the extensions 8 inavertical position or to retain the yoke 4 at an inclination withregardsto the body 7.

The body member 9 is constructed of a single piece of resilientmaterial, the same bent upon itself Ito provide oppositiely arrangedvertically extending armsy and the arm extension 8. The lower portion ofthe said body is formed with a threaded opening' 11, and this opening isadapted to coact with a reduced threaded portion 12 formed' upon asleeve 13. This sleeve 13 may be connected with or may be formedinteriorly with the bowl shaped base 14 of the device. The base 14 aswell as its sleeve 13 are both constructed of some suitable hardenedmaterial such as metal, and positioned Vwithin the base and securelyconnected thereto is, an elastic member 15. VThe member 15 comprises asuction cup whereby the mirror may be effectively retained upon anydesired support. The sleeve 13 is hollow and is provided upon one of itssides with an elongated slot, the same being adapted to receive theprojecting end of a pivoted handle 16. This handle is formed with adepending arm 17, and the saidA arm is prefipo` of t-he sleeve areformedwith teeth 19 and the handle 16 is adapted to be swung iiito engagementwith any of the teeth so that the pressure upon the cu is therebycont-rolled and the said cup retained in this compressed condition.

From the above description, taken in con- I nection with theaccompanying drawings the simplicity of the device, as well as itsadvantages will, itis thought be apparent to those skilled in the art towhich such inventions appertain it being noted that the mirror may beswung in any desired direction that the mirror may be inclined as desireand that the pressure upon the suction cu may be readily .regulated orthat the sai pressure may be entirely relieved so that the device may beconveyed from place to place yas desired.

Having thus described the invention what v I claim as new is n A supportof' the class described comprislng a bowl Sha ed base having an interally formed central y arranged extending s eev'e,

said sleeve being provided with an elongated slot, the walls of whichbeing provided with teeth, a handle pivotally connected with the sleeveand adapted to project from the slot to enga e with one of the teethformed in the wa s thereof, an arm pivotally connected with the handle,a resilient suction cup secured to the bowl shaped base, and aconnection between the arm and the said suction cup, substantially asand for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have aixed my signature in presence of twowitnesses.
